Age of Rebirth

Ribbentrop was very excited and finally signed the treaty. Originally, the Japanese firmly demanded that the treaty must be signed in secret and not disclosed to the outside world. It was only known to members of the Japanese and German negotiating delegations. ≧,

According to that Kaga Heisaburo, since both of our allies have benefited, just find a place to have fun secretly, and don't make the whole world know about it.

But I am firmly opposed to doing this. The Japanese do not want the outside world to know the content of the treaty. Naturally, they have their own ideas. Well, the more people who know, the more embarrassing the Japanese.

But Ribbentrop doesn't think so. He understands the head of state's mind. Slapping Americans in the face is the thing that makes the head of state most happy. Insulting Americans is what the head of state is happy to see. How can you keep it secret and let it rot in your stomach?

Therefore, in the face of Kaga Heisaburo's insistence, Ribbentrop said without hesitation: "Mr. Chief Representative, if your Japanese government insists on doing this, I can only understand that your government is not sincere about this treaty." , ready to repent at any time!"

Kaga Heisaburo was speechless. Originally, according to international practice, after a certain treaty was signed between the two countries, it was a major event and had to be announced to the outside world. His own request was unreasonable, making it look like a sneaky thief.

But this is an embarrassing thing for the Empire of Japan. Everyone in the world knows that the Empire of Japan and Germany teamed up to beat the Americans, and saw that they took down most of the United States.Japan suddenly signed such a treaty with Germany, as long as it is not someone with a lumpy head.Everyone will understand what's going on?

Whatever you say, you have to fight for the face of the Great Japanese Empire.It is still very valuable. Kaga Heisaburo insisted on his own opinion, and Ribbentrop did not back down. A disagreement on face almost led to the final treaty, which could not be signed.

Ribbentrop lost his patience and warned: "If this treaty cannot be announced to the public, I will regard your country as having no sincerity at all. The content of the previously reached treaty is declared invalid and the negotiation breaks down. Germany has no obligation to fulfill it. The relevant terms of the treaty!"

This is definitely a trump card, and it hit the Japanese at once. The importance of face and practical needs, Kaga Heisaburo knew very well that the Great Japanese Empire made such concessions.What was it for? Like a deflated ball, he agreed feebly that this treaty could be according to the wishes of the Germans.announced.

Ribbentrop, who once again had the upper hand on the Japanese, was extremely excited, like a monkey offering a treasure.Ask the Führer to look at his grades, but he found out.The head of state seemed to be in a trance, not as excited as expected.Immediately shut his mouth knowingly.

Hitler realized his gaffe, came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Ribbentrop, you did a great job, but this treaty will still be announced a few days later, wait for the notice from the head of state's office! "

Ribbentrop left with doubts and confusion. Hitler knew how to explain this matter to his old friend Tang Qiuli, and it must be resolved as soon as possible. He lingered in the office for a long time, sometimes frowning and shaking his head, and finally , or returned to the desk, picked up a pen, and personally drafted the content of the telegram to Tang Qiuli.

After the signing of the treaty, Kaga Heisaburo did not dare to delay at all, and immediately sent the final result of the negotiation back to the country as quickly as possible. He knew that the country was waiting to see it through.

After receiving the top-secret telegram from Kaga Heisaburo, all the bosses from Emperor Hirohito to the base camp breathed a sigh of relief, but none of them expressed excitement. On the contrary, the entire Japanese high-level decision-making team felt humiliated and It is with a painful heart that I come to view this treaty.

Emperor Hirohito even locked himself in the room, yelling at Hitler and the Germans, breaking countless antiques, and beating up a few concubines he usually loved. Even Empress Ryoko was scolded.

The base camp of the Japanese army began to operate at high speed. Two days later, the first batch of [-] Japanese troops began to board at the port of Los Angeles and headed for the Australian battlefield. This also benefited from the help of the Germans. Legs, running from the middle of the United States to the West Coast, without a week or two, simply can't do it.

Also two days later, Tang Qiuli, who was still in Trusun, Sumatra, received a telegram from Germany sent by Hitler himself.

In addition to notifying the Japanese in the telegram that they would soon transfer troops from the North American battlefield to reinforce Australia, Hitler also wrote down the contents of the treaty with the Japanese in the telegram.

At the end of the telegram, Hitler wrote very sincerely: "My old friend, I can't explain this matter, I can only express my deep apologies. You know that Germany has done what it can. After all, we are allies with Japan, we also have difficulties, I hope old friends can understand..."

Regarding Hitler's words, Tang Qiuli chose to ignore them. Hitler pretended to be a pilgrim and beat a monk. Explaining yourself is a last resort, cunning enough!

With the current situation of the German army on the North American battlefield, if you intend to keep the Japanese, at least three to five months will not be a problem, but Hitler has loosened the Japanese. On the surface, it seems that they have obtained substantial benefits. Results!

But through this telegram, Tang Qiuli also saw that there was another layer of hidden intentions hidden in Hitler's heart. Before the independent division troops occupied Australia, they let go of more than 100 million Japanese troops, hoping that the Japanese would fight against him, or , Holding back his pace of marching into the Eastern Pacific, the abacus was quite shrewd!

It seems that Hitler's ambitions are not only trapped in Europe and America, but also in the Pacific Ocean, driving away his teammates, the Japanese, and the Germans can dominate the Americas. As for the Italians, they are just following the Germans and picking up some It's just cheap.

"Hitler has the heart to guard against himself!" Tang Qiuli is soberly aware of this. However, conflicts with the Germans are still a matter of the future. The immediate priority is to get rid of the Japanese, and the Pacific Ocean is in his plan. How can Hitler let Hitler get involved in the inland sea!

Tang Qiuli sent a telegram back to Hitler, "Dear head of state, first of all congratulate you for signing the treaty with the Japanese. As for your apology, in my opinion, it is unnecessary. The Japanese are our sworn enemies of China and have irreconcilable differences. Qiuli's lifelong feud, Qiuli's lifelong wish is to destroy Japan!"

"The decisive battle with the Japanese army will happen sooner or later, and it is not limited to Australia. Any place where the Japanese exist will be the target of my attack. Maybe in the near future, the independent division troops will also set foot on the North American continent and wipe out The Japanese troops there!"

"Or, at the invitation of the head of state, join hands with the German army to destroy the Americans. Of course, I don't have much ambition for the interests of North America. Please rest assured, the head of state. By the way, Your Excellency, why didn't you Have you seen the news released by the treaty?”

After seeing Tang Qiuli's call back, Hitler's face turned pale and livid for a while, and then he smiled helplessly. He believed that his old friend Tang Qiuli, that tough Chinese, would definitely get his hands on the North American continent. Well, he just doesn't want to be as greedy as the Japanese, and Hitler doesn't want to confront the powerful army under his command, unless it is a last resort!

Germany and Japan, "Germany and Japan, Treaty Concerning the Division of Interests in the North American Continent" was finally announced to the outside world, causing an uproar. American.

Duluth, a small town in the northeastern part of the United States, the wartime capital of the United States, and the War Room of the Supreme Command of the United States, President Roosevelt sat in a wheelchair with a dull face, and a group of American military generals, listening to the radio, The news of "Germany and Japan, Treaty Concerning the Division of Interests in the North American Continent" had been broadcast for a long time before he came back to his senses.

Looking at these American generals, Roosevelt sighed heavily, and said, "Everyone, return to your posts and prepare to fight! The Germans are about to launch a new offensive. For us, the United States, the real test has come. !"

After saluting Roosevelt one by one with solemn expressions, these American generals left the wartime Supreme Command and returned to their own troops, ready to face the stormy German offensive!

"Jeffrey, the situation is worse than ever!" After the generals left, Roosevelt's face was sallow, and he looked very weak. He said to General Jeffrey, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.

"Understood, Mr. President, you don't have to worry too much. The United States and Canada are already mentally prepared for this!" Jeffrey reassured.

Roosevelt smiled wryly and shook his head, looking very helpless. If the Germans and Japanese joined hands on the North American continent, he would have the opportunity to use all means to create conflicts between the two, to win a respite for the United States, and to delay the war. footsteps.

However, as soon as this treaty came out, Roosevelt knew that he had no chance. One tiger and one wolf competed for North America, and there was still a chance of internal friction. Now that the wolves are gone, the remaining hungry tigers will concentrate on dealing with it without distraction. The United States, no matter how many schemes it has, what can it do?

Roosevelt knew that the last critical moment for the United States had arrived, and he could only respond passively, taking one step at a time.

With the help of the Germans, the pace of Japan's troop deployment from the North American battlefield has been significantly accelerated. With the first batch of 8 people boarding the ship, the second batch of 10 troops also began to gather in several ports on the west coast of the United States. After receiving the report, Emperor Hirohito finally looked better!
